1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

There is currently no standard treatment for metastatic urothelial cancer after failure of cisplatin-based therapy. The present retrospective study investigated the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) (FOLFOX) in locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients following cisplatin-based treatment. Thirty-three patients who had received one or two cisplatin-based regimens were treated with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) as a 2-h infusion on day 1, LV (200 mg/m2) as a 2-h infusion followed by bolus 5-FU (400 mg/m2) on day 1, or a 44-h continuous 5-FU (1,200 mg/m2) infusion. Patients were a mean of 67 years old with two involved organs. Metastases were mostly in the lung (43%), lymph nodes (51%) and liver (46%). Based on an intention-to-treat analysis, nine patients achieved a partial response, with an overall response rate of 27%. Eight (24%) patients had stable disease. Mean progression-free survival was 3 months and mean overall survival was 6.1 months. Toxicity was mild to moderate with grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and neuropathy occurring in 5 (15%), 4 (12%) and 2 (6%) patients, respectively. This study demonstrated that oxaliplatin plus 5-FU/LV was a well-tolerated second-line regimen with moderate activity in patients pretreated with cisplatin-based therapeutics.
